no offense to vegas or anything (never been, so I don't like to condemn that which I don't know), but none of these 10 things appear worth the time to fly out there.

now, if they offered a list of the cheapest places to get hookers, blow, and sites with gaming rigged more favorably for the player, I'd reconsider.

The first one can be figured out from advertisements. The second one from the first. The last one any off-strip ones but nothing is 'favorable' to the player or they wouldn't be in business. Oh and cab drivers can usually help with all three.

If you don't have disposable income, I don't recommend Vegas. It's a great place for gamblers, foodies, and theaterphiles, but those activities aren't cheap.

Lastly, for $18 a person, I recommend the Mob Museum. It was a neat way to spend a few hours downtown for the cost of two blackjack hands.

1) Mac King isn't too bad.2) restaurant is not on the Strip3) there are other places that many people don't know about4)no kidding, but driving on the Strip is not a great place to waste time (typically in order to use valet, you have to enter the property from the Strip)5) The Hilton is past Circus Circus on the Northern end of the Strip, not where the "action" is.6) If you go to Epcot in Disney, you can try even more "free" drinks, and there is no limit.7) It's 1 song, not the entire show, and the attraction is the fountains not Dion.8) This is actually a cool place if you are into pinball.9) If you are so cheap that you need to do the other 9, then an $85 Sunday brunch is not for you10) not on the Strip, but downtown

/agreeing with you Gig103, not trying to start a fight or anything. Just adding to your comments.

The best deal in Vegas is the $7 all day bus pass. Runs 24 hours a day, and is a much better way to get to other parts of the strip, Freemont Street, etc.

The best free activity is wandering around, taking pictures, and trying to figure out if the slutty women are prostitutes or office workers on vacation.

downstairs:Slots-a-Fun Casino used to be a blast. The dirtiest, run-down casino with some *shady* characters. And by far the cheapest casino out there.

They had $2 minimum craps tables, fer crissakes. And I cleaned up... $500 and free beer over two days.

From wiki apparently its not as cool any more.

Heck, they used to have $1 craps My Dad and I spent a lot of time there winning at that table. Sad the table games are gone (Sahara and Westward Ho used to have $2 craps, those are gone now, though). Next time I get out there, I'll have to find the cheap craps tables downtown.

I tried my best back in maybe 2005-ish. Couldn't find anything under $5.... and $5 was rare (and often didn't have a game going.)

Only Sluts-a-Fun (as we called it, evoking our 5th grade humor.)

Sucks, because $2 can really allow you to control your own destiny. Of course, playing the proper way and not getting suckered into the prop bets or whatever they call them.

I can't remember exactly what it was (ESPN game zone maybe, it was somewhere between the Paris and the M&M store, and I think you have to walk down some stairs from the strip to get there), but the best money I spent was an arcade where it was $10/hr unlimited games. You got a card, and anytime you swiped it loaded a virtual quarter into the machine.

club fortune or the wildfire. Texas station has dollar craps too but it is super... dark

I visit Vegas about every year since I have a friend that lives there that works as a tech for the big shows. The best thing to do in Vegas is to leave Vegas and enjoy the incredible scenery and nature all around the place.

For starters,Mary Jane FallsRed Rock CanyonValley of Fireetc...

When dragged out there for conventions, I try to leave a day or two for those and/or Zion Ntl Park.

We were visiting family in Vegas this summer and went to 3 different shows: O, Le Reve, and Mac King. Tickets to O and Le Reve were around $100 each. Mac King was arounf $30 each. Of course Mac King is the one my kid still talks about.
